Researchers compared photon-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) vs fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (fSRT) for the treatment of uveal melanoma, focusing on efficacy and adverse event profile.
They performed a meta-analysis including 24 articles with a total of 1,745 patients identified from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and 2 Cochrane databases.
Incidence proportions of local control, enucleation, metastatic progression, disease-specific, and overall death were the primary outcomes.
